After Wargus, Stargus is for N900 too.

Stargus is data game set for the Stratagus engine. It can be used to play Starcraft I from Blizzard Entertainment, but is needed original Starcraft I CD.

Stratagus is a free cross-platform real-time strategy gaming engine. It includes support for playing over Internet/LAN, or playing vs. computer opponents. The engine is configurable and can be used to create games with a wide-range of features specific to your needs.

Now Stargus is ported and work on Nokia N900 too.

I continue develop desktop version for Windows, Linux and mobile version for N900 together on one place. Project is hosted on Launchpad (where are desktop download files):

https://launchpad.net/stargus

Maemo version for N900 is in Extras-Devel and Extras-Testing repository.

Install instructions:

1. Copy INSTALL.EXE from original Starcraft I CD to phone directory /home/user/MyDocs/Starcraft (Connect phone to computer in mass storage mode and copy files to Starcraft directory) Note: Broodwar does not work

2. Install Stargus from Hildon Application Manager or via apt-get

3. During Stargus installation, data files from /home/user/MyDocs/Starcraft will be automatically extracted. Note that this process may take 15-30 minutes and installer may not responding.

4. After installation, Stargus can be run from Menu.

For reporting bugs, sending patches and answer tracker use ONLY launchpad project sites.

!Note that campaigns are not supported yet! Only single player or network multiplayer game work.

Updates in 2.2.5.5-2maemo3~fremantle:

Data files will be now extracted to /home/user/MyDocs/stratagus/stargus so Stargus will not spend space on /opt. To proper clean Stargus files from /opt is needed to run these commands (as root):
Code:
dpkg -P stargus
rm -rf /opt/stratagus/share/stargus
rm -rf /home/user/.stratagus-2.2/sc
and then install Stargus again
